The newer style magneto comes with only two wires, a black and a blue. This newer generation of magneto has the white wire omitted with the black wire soldered to the core. The core has been epoxied to help reduce fatigue to the ground wire and also has a jumper wire to ground. Additionally, the frames appears to be of better quality as well.

Testing this two wire magneto is really simple with the use of an ohm meter. Specs and testing are as follows:

Ohm meter set to ohms. Red (+) on the blue magneto wire / Black (-) on the magneto black wire. Reading should be around 325 ohms. If you switch wires the reading should be the same.

With your ohm meter still set to ohms, put the Red (+) on the magneto black wire and the Black (-) to your motor case or magneto frame. The reading should be 0.3 which means you have a good contact ground.
